My task was to plan a small-scale public building in connection with water. In my opinion the future of architecture is in the reutilization of old buildings, so I was looking for an old and unused building near a river. I found the ship loading tower of Dorog in the Danube, 2,5 km away from Esztergom. This industrial monument with several unique abilities was designed by Antal Sorg in 1926. The coal of Dorog arrived there via cableway and left by ship to Csepel.

My aim was to find a timely and valid function for the building, expand its open space as much as possible while keeping its values at the same time. I made numerous researches and consultations with the local government regarding the function. I decided to plan a Fine Dining Restaurant, because this is the best role which is sufficient for the abilities of the building. As I can see it, Esztergom’s future lies in its outstanding tourism, thus this function could become a self-sustaining and independent tourist destination in the long-term.
